Waiting for day surgery

Appointments: Help us manage our day surgery waiting list

We appreciate that many people have been waiting a long time to receive the treatment they need, our work to book patients in as quickly as possible continues at pace.

In the coming weeks, we are working with one of our digital solutions providers, DrDoctor, to send text messages to suitable patients who are currently on our day surgery waiting list, asking them to let us know if they are able to have surgery at an alternative location.    

If you receive this text message, please do not ignore it - your response will be crucially important to help us manage our waiting list.

If you did not want to receive communication from UHBW on SMS text message and want to opt out of this in the future please let us know on 0117 342 3902.

Depending on your response, the UHBW Dermatology or the alternative location team may be in touch with you again in the coming weeks with further information on next steps. The alternative location is Bristol Plastics Bristol Plastic Surgery - Queen Square.

Please note you will need to enter your Date of Birth for your response to be considered complete.

If you have a medical problem or concern, and are unsure what to do, please contact your usual healthcare provider (e.g. your GP or NHS 111) directly.

If you have any queries about why you have received this message, please call 0117 342 3902.

Please be assured that we will not make any changes to your waiting list status unless we hear from you, and any appointment dates you may already have still stand.
